The regulations concerning towing may dif-
fer from country to country. It is recommen-
ded that you obey the regulations of the area where you are driving your vehicle.Towing the vehicle by a tow
truckCAUTIONl This vehicle must not be towed by a tow
truck using sling lift type equipment (Type A) as illustrated. Using a sling lift will dam-age the bumper and front end.
l On 4WD vehicles, be sure to set the drive
mode-selector to “2H” position and transportthe vehicle with the driving wheels on a car-
riage (Type D or E) as illustrated. Never try
to tow with the drive mode-selector in “4H” or “4L” positions (easy select 4WD), “4H”, “4HLc” or “4LLc” positions (super select
4WD II) and with the front or rear wheels on
the ground (Type B or C) as illustrated. This could result in driving system damage or the
vehicle may jump at the carriage. If you can- not set the drive mode-selector to “2H” posi- tion or the transmission is malfunctioning ordamaged, transport the vehicle with the allwheels on a carriage (Type D or E) as illus-
trated.
l As your vehicle is equipped with the Active
Stability & Traction Control system
(ASTC), if the vehicle is towed with the ig-
nition switch in the “ON” position or the op- eration mode in ON and only the front
wheels or only the rear wheels raised off the
ground, the active Traction Control System may operate, resulting in an accident.CAUTIONl On 2WD vehicles, if the transmission is mal-
functioning or damaged, transport the vehi- cle with the driving wheels on a carriage (Type C, D or E) as illustrated.
l If you tow a vehicle with automatic trans-
mission with the driving wheels on the
ground (Type B) as illustrated, make sure
that the towing speed and distance given be- low are never exceeded, causing damage to the transmission.

Towing speed: 30 km/h (19 mph)
Towing distance: 80 km (50 miles)

For the towing speed and the towing dis- tance, follow the local driving laws and reg-
ulations.

NOTElFor vehicles equipped with the Auto Stop &
Go (AS&G) system, press the “Auto Stop &Go (AS&G) OFF” switch to deactivate theAuto Stop & Go (AS&G) system before stopping the vehicle.
Refer to “To deactivate” on page 6-26.WARNINGl When the engine is not running, the brake
booster and power steering pump do notoperate. This means higher brake depres-sion force and higher steering effort arerequired. Therefore, vehicle operation is
very difficult.CAUTIONl Do not leave the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” position or the operation mode in
OFF. The steering wheel will lock, causing loss of control.
3. Place the gearshift lever in the “N”
(Neutral) position (manual transmission) or the selector lever in the “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position (automatic transmis-
sion).
4. On 4WD vehicles, set the drive mode se-
lector to the “2H” position.
5. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if re-
quired by law. (Follow the local driving
laws and regulations.)
6. During towing make sure that close con-
tact is maintained between the drivers of
both vehicles, and that the vehicles trav- el at low speed.WARNINGl Avoid sudden braking, acceleration and
steering wheel movements; such driving operation could cause damage to the tow-
ing hook or tow rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured as a
result.
l When going down a long slope, the brakes
may overheat, reducing effectiveness. Have your vehicle transported by a tow
truck.CAUTIONl The person in the vehicle being towed must
pay attention to the brake lamps of the tow- ing vehicle and make sure the rope never be-
comes slack.CAUTIONl When a vehicle with an automatic transmis-
sion is to be towed by another vehicle with
all the wheels on the ground, make sure that the towing speed and distance given below
are never exceeded, avoiding damage to the
transmission.

Towing speed: 30 km/h (19 mph)
Towing distance: 80 km (50 miles)

For the towing speed and the towing dis- tance, follow the local driving laws and reg- ulations.
If your vehicle tows another ve-
hicle (vehicles with rear towing hook only)
The rear towing hook is located as shown inthe illustration. Secure the tow rope to the
rear towing hook.

Otherwise, the instructions are the same as
for “When being towed by another vehicle”.NOTEl Using any part other than the designated
towing hook could result in damage to thevehicle body.CAUTIONl On vehicles with super select 4WD II, when
you are going to tow another vehicle, set the drive mode-selector to “4H” position.Selecting “2H” drive may increase the dif-
ferential oil temperature, resulting in possi-
ble damage to the driving system.
Further, the drive train will be subjected to excessive loading possibly leading to oilleakage, component seizure, or other serious
faults.NOTEl Do not tow a vehicle heavier than your own
vehicle.Operation under adverse
driving conditions E00801704085
On a flooded road
lAvoid flooded roads. In the event driv-
ing flooded roads, doing so may causethe following serious damage to the ve-
hicle. • Engine stalling
• Short in electrical components
• Engine damage caused by water im-
mersion
After driving on flooded roads, be sure
to have an inspection at a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point and
take the necessary measures or repair.
On a wet road
l When driving in rain or on a road with
many puddles a layer of water may form
between the tyres and the road surface.
This reduces a tyre’s frictional resistance
on the road, resulting in loss of steering stability and braking capability.

To cope with this, observe the following items:

(a) Drive your vehicle at a slow speed. (b) Do not drive on worn tyres. (c) Always maintain the specified tyre
inflation pressures.
On a snow-covered or frozen road
l When driving on a snow-covered or fro-
zen road, it is recommended that you use snow tyres or snow traction device (tyre chains).
Refer to the “Snow tyres” and “Snow
traction device (tyre chains)” sections.
l Avoid high-speed operation, sudden ac-
celeration, abrupt brake application and
sharp cornering.
Operation under adverse driving conditions
8-28OKTE17E1For emergencies8

lDepressing the brake pedal during travel
on snowy or icy roads may cause tyre slippage and skidding. When traction be-
tween the tyres and the road is reduced
the wheels may skid and the vehicle can-
not readily be brought to a stop by con- ventional braking techniques. Brakingwill differ, depending upon whether you have anti-lock brake system (ABS). If
you do have ABS, brake by pressing the brake pedal hard, and keeping it pressed.
If you do not have ABS, pump the brake
pedal with short rapid jabs, each time
fully applying and fully releasing for
greatest effect.
l Allow extra distance between your vehi-
cle and the vehicle in front of you, and avoid sudden braking.
l Accumulation of ice on the braking sys-
tem can cause the wheels to lock. Pull away from a standstill slowly after con-
firming safety around the vehicle.CAUTIONl Do not press the accelerator pedal rapidly. If
the wheels break free of the ice, the vehicle
could suddenly start moving and possibly cause an accident.On a bumpy or rutted road
Drive as slow as possible when driving on
bumpy or rutted roads.
CAUTIONl The impact on tyres and/or wheels when
driving on a bumpy or rutted road can dam-
age the tyre and/or wheel.
Operation under adverse driving conditions

CAUTION•Maintain a distance of approx. 70 cm
or
more between the vehicle body and the washing nozzle.
• When washing around the door glass,
hold the nozzle at a distance of more than
70 cm and at right angles to the glass sur- face.
l After washing the vehicle, drive the vehicle
slowly while lightly depressing the brake
pedal several times in order to dry out the
brakes.
Leaving the brakes wet could result in re- duced braking performance. Also, there is a
possibility that they could freeze up or be- come inoperative due to rust, rendering the vehicle unable to move.
l When using an automatic car wash, pay at-
tention to the following items, referring to the operation manual or consulting a car
wash operator. If the following procedure is not followed, it could result in damage to
your vehicle.
• The outside mirrors are retracted.
• If your vehicle is equipped with the pillar
antenna, it can be retracted.
• If your vehicle is equipped with the roof
antenna, it can be removed.
• The wiper arms are secured in place with
tape.
• If your vehicle has rain sensor wipers,
place the wiper switch lever in the “OFF” position to deactivate the rain sensor.During cold weather
Salt and other chemicals spread on the roads
in some areas in winter can have a harmful effect on the vehicle body. You should there-
fore wash the vehicle as often as possible in accordance with our care-instructions. It is
recommended to have a preservative applied
and the underfloor protection checked before and after the cold weather season.
After washing your vehicle, wipe off all wa- terdrops from the rubber parts around the
doors to prevent the doors from freezing.
Waxing
E00901001974
Waxing the vehicle will help prevent the ad-
herence of dust and road chemicals to the paintwork. Apply a wax solution after wash- ing the vehicle, or at least once every three
months to assist displacing of water.
Do not wax your vehicle in direct sunlight.
You should wax after the surfaces have
cooled.
For information on how to use wax refer to the instruction manual of the wax.
CAUTIONl Waxes containing high abrasive compounds
should not be used.Polishing
E00901101151
The vehicle should only be polished if the
paintwork has become stained or lost its lus- tre. Do not polish parts with a mat coating
and the plastic bumpers. Doing so could cause stains or damage the finish.
Cleaning plastic parts
E00901301876
Use a sponge or chamois leather.
If a car wax adheres on a grey or black rough surface of the bumper, moulding or lamps, the surface becomes white. In such a case,
wipe it off using lukewarm water and soft cloth or chamois leather.
CAUTIONl Do not use a scrubbing brush or other hard
tools as they may damage the plastic part surface.
l Do not bring the plastic parts into contact
with petrol, light oil, brake fluids, engine oils, greases, paint thinners and sulphuric
acid (battery electrolyte) which may crack, stain or discolour the plastic parts.
If they touch the plastic parts, wipe them off with soft cloth, chamois or the like and anaqueous solution of neutral detergent then
immediately rinse the affected parts with
water.
